A leaked version of Dungeons & Dragons new Open Game License has many worried about the future of the tabletop roleplaying game’s ecosystem. For weeks, rumors have swirled about Wizards of the Coast’s plans for the Open Game License (OGL), a license that allows third-party creators and publishers to use Dungeons & Dragons rules and mechanics in their own work. Last month, Wizards of the Coast released a statement detailing a framework for an upcoming “update” to the OGL, which included a royalty fee for creators who made more than $750,000 in revenue off of works that used the new OGL.
Kickstarter was contacted after WoTC decided to make OGL changes, so we felt the best move was to advocate for creators, which we did. Managed to get lower % plus more being discussed. No hidden benefits / no financial kickbacks for KS. This is their license, not ours, obviously. https://t.co/jHwX1JQKXM
